My dad has Vascular dementia and after a traumatic experience with another care home the moment I contacted the Mayflower the kindness and compassion from that first phone call was second to none. The staff are all warm and professional to all residents and their families and have been supportive and
reassuring to us through this difficult time. I cannot praise the staff enough for all they do for my dad and the other residents who are all treated with dignity kept clean and well fed. I would not hesitate to recommend the Mayflower.

Reply from Claudia Ramsamy, Home Manager at Mayflower Care Home

Dear Jackie, it has been a joy to watch how your loved one has relaxed and settled into Mayflower Care Home, our team works very hard and goes above and beyond to support our residents and their families, I am happy to hear you felt supported and that you would recommend our home with no hesitation.

I cannot rate The Mayflower highly enough since my father with vascular dementia has been in the home, the care from the staff is outstanding and nothing is too much trouble and my dad settled so quickly thanks to the staff. We know his medical needs are fully met and feel happy that he is safe and
extremely well looked after. The home is clean and fresh to the end degree and does not smell like some homes do. The food is also outstanding and like being in a hotel with choices of breakfast, meals and snacks! I would love the recipe for some of the dinners and desserts my dad has! As I help him to eat as he has difficulty seeing, so all I can say is thank you and keep up the amazing service you provide.

Dear Caroline, thank you for your kind feedback.

My brother was moved to Mayflower from another care home that could not cater for his needs. I cannot get to visit very often and thought about moving him nearer but having seen how happy and settled he is have decided this is the best place for him. My brother no longer recognises any of his family.
I have found the carers and nurses here to be so lovely. I can ring and speak to them anytime and they always reassure me. I have no worries. He is in the best place.

Reply from Claudia Ramsamy, Home Manager at Mayflower Care Home

Dear Freda, many thanks for your kind words, which are most appreciated by all of us here at the home. We are pleased that you have been satisfied with your brother's care and communication at Mayflower Care Home.

I am pleased to say that since my husband was admitted last May he has continued to receive excellent support and care. The staff are so good with him and it gives me peace of mind knowing he is in safe hands. I went to my daughter for Christmas and for the first time, I relaxed knowing that he was
safe. When we had our 65th Wedding Anniversary the Staff prepared a little celebration for us. It is these little touches that make all the difference and make us feel we are part of an extension of our family. When I am asked about the Mayflower I always tell friends how good you are and I would always recommend you to anyone who asks. Thank you again to all of you for doing one of the most difficult jobs and managing to keep a smile on your faces.

My dad has Vascular dementia and has been at the Mayflower for three years. It has been a difficult journey for us as a family but the Mayflower have been consistently supportive and I feel that my dad is receiving good, understanding care. I don't live close enough to visit more than once a week but
I am able to use the relative's online link to keep informed of what is happening with my dad, and I find the communication to be really good with the nurses on his unit. I know a lot of the staff through visiting my dad and many of them have been there for a long time which is a good sign, ensuring consistency of approach. Many thanks to all staff - it's such an important and challenging job.

Reply from Claudia Ramsamy, Home Manager at Mayflower Care Home

The team at the Mayflower go that extra mile in the care they provide to the residents, the staff are professionally trained in dealing with Dementia and all the presentations and ensure the residents are well looked after. The choice of menu and catering for specific dietary needs is marvellous and
we are so happy with how Dad has settled in with them. I really like the portal as well, it is a great way to keep in touch and share information and pictures with family members who live abroad and are not able to visit on a regular basis. They also care and empathise with the families and help them along the journey as well. Many thanks to all the team and the great work that you do. It is so appreciated by the family.

My mum is in a caring and supportive setting that encompasses her full wellbeing. The staff are warm and friendly to all the residents as well as their families. The activities that are set enrich their lives and include their families. My children and I talk with the other service users and my grandchildren
also enjoy visiting in their dressing up costumes. It is reassuring that there is an open-door atmosphere as we can pop in and out with our fob so there is nothing hidden. We have been fortunate to do more with Mum than we were able to do for a long time. The communication is good and as a family, we are grateful for the care they give to my mum and us.

My brother has been in Mayflower Care Home for just over a year and is very happy there. The staff are second to none in all departments from catering to nursing to activity team to maintenance laundry front office all cannot do enough for the residents and relatives. I am more than confident that he

The whole team is led by the manager who is absolutely brilliant and all staff make time to speak with a relative or resident. The home has made additional improvements and has more plans for the future.

The staff are so very caring and supportive both to my husband and to myself. Recently he had a spell of time in hospital and on his return he was welcomed so warmly. Although

My husband was admitted to Mayflower as an assessment patient by the NHS. He has advanced dementia and he had fractured his ankle in a fall at home. After a period of time he was admitted to Mayflower.
He settled in very well and my son and I when we visited him found him happy and settled. The staff
were caring not only to my husband but also to us. They were patient with him and understood his needs even when he was sometimes stubborn about their trying to help him. Our only concern was that he had been placed so from his home and we could not visit him as often as we could have wished.

My wife has vascular dementia, she was admitted to to the care home in March 2024. Most of the staff who answer the phone are rude (when they answer!). She's been assaulted by another patient twice and all they do is try and cover it up, well I'm not buying it. Picked her up the other day and there
was urine in her toilet on the floor! So please please please avoid it at all costs!

Reply from Claudia Ramsamy, Registered Manager at Mayflower Care Home

We are concerned to hear that you are unhappy about aspects of your wife's care. We take the safety and wellbeing of our residents very seriously and, as part of that, we welcome feedback and use this to improve our care. We are always fully transparent with our residents, their families, our professional colleagues and the relevant authorities. All incidents and complaints are thoroughly and vigorously investigated, as well as being reported to CQC and the LA. We apologise if sometimes you have been unable to get through to us. Of course, there may be times when staff are busy dealing with residents, which takes priority over answering the phone! We have taken on board your comments and you will receive a full response shortly. If you would like to meet for further discussion, please contact me. You can also talk in confidence to our quality team on 07810 487150 and email them via quality@canfordhealthcare.co.uk.

The staff kept in communication when waiting for the room and when available, stressful and upsetting transition but the staff was caring and supportive. Better comms on what to expect or how it works (FAQs) would be helpful e.g. getting in and out fob, app to see updates etc. as had to learn along
the way and advise others. Staff support and care were excellent for Mum and the family, really got to know her and what she needs e.g. outings and exercise. Offer advice, listen to concerns and make improvements (actions, not just words) whilst giving time/respect for us to decide. Key consistent staff, invaluable, great trust in them doing the best for Mum. Mum feels comfortable and safe. Love how the home has life, noise, activity and a positive atmosphere, not just sterile and a quiet environment. Great team, good leadership with real care.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.642)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.642) out of 10 for Mayflower Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.642 for Mayflower Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (245 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 332 Ratings = 4.642

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mayflower Care Home is based on 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 76 registered maximum number of service users is 15.2, which has been reached with 29 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
